Perfect in every way

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing, aesthetically pleasing house. Sometimes there were quite a few of us as my sister and her grandchildren were with us for the initial five days. After that, for nearly two weeks, it was just my husband and me. In both cases, we were delighted with the layout, the amenities and the pure beauty of our surroundings, both inside and out. Sally and Michael were welcoming and quick to respond to our (few) requests. We cooked many meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and enjoyed reading and painting on the deck amongst the greenery when the weather was good. We walked to town for coffee, for dinner, to the craft supply store and the bookshop. We were able to set out from our doorstep for hikes in the redwoods. Being so close to San Fransisco was a real plus. Thank you for sharing this remarkable corner of the universe. We certainly hope to return next year.

Perfect getaway in the heart of Mill Valley

I came across this listing while looking for a vacation rental near San Francisco for the holidays. Overall the biggest draw was the location--right in the town of Mill Valley. From the start, Sally was extremely helpful with making sure we checked in and were able to get right inside on our first day arriving in town to unload our luggage. She was available throughout our stay to message for any needs we had.

The residence is located up a stairway from the street among towering Redwoods just a very short walk from many restaurants and shops. This unit is upstairs (of a two-story home) and is on a hill so it really just seems like one unit, and it is extremely quiet--both inside and out. It is very private, perfect for a family.

You'd have to experience the home for yourself, but it has a very calming vibe. You can sit outside on the couch in the gated area and watch several species of birds flutter around to the feeders, and even enjoy the friendly neighborhood cat that comes around every now and then. The inside of the home is gorgeous. The hardwood floors are comfortable and well worn. The couches and beds are extremely comfortable. The appliances are up to date and work very well, including the tv and wifi connection. I especially liked the different guides of things to do in the area as well as historical information about Mill Valley, and I read many of the books around the couch on a few rainy days.

Overall I want to graciously thank Sally and Michael for such a wonderful stay and would recommend this stay to anyone looking for an extremely relaxing getaway in a picture perfect little California town just a stone's throw from San Francisco.

Perfect retreat, great location

We enjoyed the property in Mill Valley very much. The house is nicely situated in walking distance from cute boutiques, coffee shops and groceries in Mill Valley. Also it's a very short drive to San Francisco, Muir Woods, the wine country, etc. We made many day trips and then enjoyed our evenings in the house. The owner has created a lovely outdoor space and birds love the feeders and are fun to watch as they come and go.

The house itself is comfortable for 5 adults. We had 6, which was still do-able with the trundle bed. The kitchen has plenty of cooking supplies and dishware. The home is very clean, simply decorated and has all the amenities needed including a washer and dryer (though we didn't use them). Touches such as throws were really nice to make for a comfy home feel. Also, we were there the week after Christmas and the home was decorated for the holiday and we liked that very much. There is ample information on things to do in the area in the home as well. The only thing I wish the house had was a closet in the 3rd bedroom, but we made due with the empty dresser. There is a very large closet in one of the bedrooms with plenty of hanging space, so we shared that and stored our luggage there as well.

The owners live just below the home, but we never saw them and they left us to enjoy our time without us feeling "watched". It was very nice, we really loved our stay and would probably consider returning if the chance arises. Such a beautiful location and so much to do in the area.

Beautiful home!

Our son and his wife were visiting home for the holidays (from London) so my husband and I decided that this would be a good destination spot to spend some family time together. We weren’t disappointed one bit, and were able to have a very relaxing and special Christmas in this beautiful house. It couldn’t have been any better! The house was lovely to spend time in, and we enjoyed watching all of the finches flying and hopping about in the yard/deck that sits outside the living room and bedrooms. The town of Mill Valley is basically right at your doorstep, so we took advantage of being able to walk downtown to various restaurants and shops. Michael and Sally, the owners, were great, also!

Comfortable, convenient, and charming

We really enjoyed our stay--beds very comfortable, and kitchen well stocked with everything we needed for our 3 days. Very fun to look out on the trees and the patio area in the back was restive and so pretty. Michael and Sally were great hosts and recommended restaurants and hikes in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
